Antique Oceanic Papuan Asmat Carved Wood / Pigment War Shield. These were more for decorative display than for war.
2x gorgeous hand-carved shields. Approx 35" tall
Among the Asmat, war shields are the most powerful symbolic element of a warrior's equipment, and have many layers of meaning. Traditionally, they were functional items used to protect warriors in battle by deflecting an enemy's spears and arrows. The carved and painted images on the surface of the shields were also intended to frighten the enemy and symbolize the power of the ancestors.
This vintage hand-carved and painted shield from Papua New Guinea is a true gem
